SUSTAINABLE LIGHTING EXPERIENCES

LEDVANCE developed and realised a lighting concept for the Parque de la Antena in Torres de Cotillas, Spain, that meets the highest demands for user-oriented, energy-saving and sustainable outdoor lighting.   

With the Parque de la Antena, the municipality of Torres de Cotillas has created the largest urban park in the Region of Murcia with an area of 280 000 m2 and at the same time a public space that enables active urban life in an environment that is as close to nature and sustainable as possible. With this in mind, Torres de Cotillas City Council was looking for a lighting solution for the park that would provide efficient, long-lasting and powerful lighting in line with the sustainability goals of the 2030 Agenda, to which the municipality has committed itself.

The municipality of Torres de Cotillas commissioned LEDVANCE to plan and realise the lighting for the Parque de la Antena. The main reasons for this decision, in addition to the competitively priced offer, were the high quality and efficiency of the LEDVANCE LED luminaires and LEDVANCE's comprehensive sustainability strategy in line with the goals of Agenda 2030. Accordingly, the lighting specialist equipped the car park with 229 Streetlight Flex luminaires in various wattages and 46 Floodlight Performance floodlights.

The lighting concept developed by LEDVANCE offers the municipality of Torres de Cotillas and visitors to the Parque de la Antena a wide range of benefits: For example, the Streetlight Flex luminaires, available with three different light colour temperatures, high light homogeneity, low glare and precise lighting control ensure optimum lighting conditions at all times - and therefore a greater sense of safety - in the park. A robust design and the highest component quality guarantee a long-lasting and sustainable product performance of the LED luminaires. With a luminous flux of 24 400 lm, the particularly powerful Floodlight Performance luminaires also impress with energy savings of up to 90 % compared to halogen floodlights. Simple mains connections, a tool-free housing opening and push-button connection terminals make installing the streetlights particularly easy. And a rated service life of up to 100 000 hours (L70/B50 at 25°C) and a 5-year guarantee minimise the maintenance costs of the LED luminaires. 

On behalf of the Spanish municipality of Torres de Cotillas, LEDVANCE has equipped the newly designed Parque de la Antena with a lighting solution that sets standards in terms of resource management, sustainability and efficiency in line with the park's underlying philosophy. Accordingly, the LED streetlights and LED floodlights used excel with optimised lighting quality, low energy consumption, a robust design and extremely low maintenance requirements.
